Jookiaalex4nder: definitely a steal given the librem 5's state of affairs03:37
alex4nderJookia: I've heard some rumors.. sounds like some drama03:42
Jookiaalex4nder: well, they haven't managed to ship a phone without some fatal flaw yet03:44
Jookiai guess it's up to the quality of an iphone then03:44
alex4nderyah.. it hasn't been motivating to buy one03:45
Jookiasetting up new projects while their existing ones are on fire is a classic purism move03:46
swivelthey're out of money to finish what they started05:06
swivelwhy they can't just be honest about that instead of going all Shkreli with backers/buyers funds escapes me05:08

Jookiaswivel: i guess because that would look bad and so far this weird reverse ponzi seems to be working05:21
Jookiaoh, not reverse05:22
swiveli'm surprised people aren't insisting preorder funds be held in escrow at this point05:31

swivel"Whether the screen is on or off doesn't seem to make a difference. The device gets very, very hot. It is no surprise that the battery doesn't last very long. It doesn't even last an hour. So I just have to switch the phone off while it is not being used and not plugged in."10:13

mntmnall of this USA stuff is funny because the schematics are obviously chinese10:23
Jookiaswivel: where's that quote from?10:24
mntmnJookia: it’s from the 0net article, first link10:35
Jookiaah, that didn't load on my machine10:38
swivelJookia: it needs javascript10:47
Jookiayeah i enabled it10:49
Jookiait apparently tries to connect to a websocket and gets a 101 error10:49

slobberthank christ i'm in evergreen batch18:00
slobberif the company lasts that long18:01
ieureYikes.18:14
ieureI preordered the PinePhone.  I figure either of these are going to be disappointing at first, but one hour battery life would fail to meet even my low expectations.18:15
doppleryeah18:16
dopplerdoes anyone have insight into what the deal with that is?18:16
dopplerI mean clearly a chip is sitting there doing something and getting hot18:16
ieureYeah, guessing it's the CPU and they have no frequency scaling so it runs full blast all the time.18:17
mntmnimx8m does have frequency scaling though and also idle injection in the latest kernel18:18
mntmnbut it gets pretty hot, especially when the GPU is working18:18
* erlehmann_ -> erlehmann18:42
slobberthey also have a few months until the more widely-distributed evergreen batch18:49
slobberso imo whatever phones they're shipping before then are, uh, better-assembled devkits that may have issues fixed in software18:49
slobberor may not18:49

dopplerhoping for the sake of everyone who bought the current round that it can be patched in s/w19:32
dopplerbeing able to carry the thing around with you and use it on battery is pretty essential for a mobile device dev kit imo19:33
dopplerI guess ppl can always get by with a USB power bank strapped to it :)19:33
ieureAnd one of those USB fans to keep it cool.19:34
swivelif they can't reel in the power use this thing is DoA19:35
adjtmieure, I received the pinephone a couple of days ago and the build quality looks very nice19:59
adjtmI have not booted it yet (it's for replicant development)19:59

swivelhmm, with open issues like these it does sound plausible that the power and heat issues can be reeled in with software https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/issues/6821:05
mntmnat least in my experience thermal has improved in linux-next22:39
mntmndon’t know what exactly made the difference, my guess is idle injection22:39
